My tank has recently went through an outburst of asterina star fish and I'd like to add a harlequin to help control the population. Let me know if you have one you'd like to get rid of or if you have seen one at one of the stores.

What's the best way to find these buggers in your tank? I've been searching high n low for the one I got - mostly at night after lights out, and haven't seen him since the day I put him in. He's definitely made a nice dent in my star pop.

You won't likely see them if the starfish are abundant. Once the food gets more scare, you will see the shrimp a lot more.

Yeah, that's what I figured. It's funny how you toss some animals in, and almost never see them.

When they are out all of the time, it is time to start looking for a new home - you are running low on food. They are very easy to catch once they are out during the day.
